This year St Patrick's Day is on a Sunday and that means cutting back on the amount of Irish ales, stouts and whiskies in the evening but it also provides the opportunity to do some more cooking in the spirit of the day, starting with breakfast! Guinness and chocolate are a perfect match and I was thinking that some Guinness chocolate pancakes would be a great way to kick off St Patrick's day! For the recipe, I pretty much took my standard chocolate pancake recipe and replaced the milk with Guinness. I made the pancakes small so that I could make a nice stack of them as if they were Guinness in a glass and I topped them off with a frothy head of whipped cream. Instead of using regular pancake syrup or even maple syrup I decided to kick up the chocolate and Guinness flavours with a
Guinness and chocolate syrup
! You know me too well; I could not stop there, I just had to add some crumbled bacon to the pancake batter to give the chocolate pancakes a saltiness to play off of their sweetness. (The bacon is of course completely optional and should be omitted for the vegetarian version.) You are sure to get your St Patrick's Day celebrations off to a good start with these totally amazing bacon Guinness chocolate pancakes with a frothy whipped cream head and
Guinness chocolate syrup
!

Kevin: found this recipe again while searching your site for Thanksgiving and Christmas Brunch inspiration. Is it safe to assume that the alcohol cooks out of the pancakes and syrup so it can be served to minors?? Will definitely be using the pumpkin hummus!!

Lovely recipe! All my favorite ingredients in one! I've made my own version here : http://www.heelsandbuns.com/double-chocolate-guilt-free-pancakes-очень-шоколадные-и-полезные-бл/Hope you will enjoy it.xKsenija

I made these pancakes for Father's Day, and they are Dad-approved! It has a more cacao-y, natural flavor, so young children won't care for them. the bacon is not optional--these pancakes must have bacon to help cut the sweetness. The beer mixes surprisingly easily into the flour, so i overmixed them by accident. but still delicious! this is definitely a repeat-recipe.

Going to make these for the fourth year in a row and was wondering, can anyone tell me how to convert it into a waffle recipe? Just got a new belgian waffle maker and want to do them waffle style this year :)
